General Agent for the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina with Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary

Powers before the International Court of Justice by appointment of President Alija Izetbegovic (March

19, 1993 to January 12, 1994). I won two World Court Orders overwhelmingly in favor of Bosnia against the rump Yugoslavia to cease and desist from violating the 1948 Genocide Convention. See

Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Bosnia and Herzegovina v. Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro)) , Order of Provisional Measures of 8 April

1993, 1993 I.C.J. Rep. at 3; and Order of Provisional Measures of 13 September 1993, 1993 I.C.J.

Rep. at 325. President Izetbegovic then instructed me to institute legal proceedings before the

International Court of Justice against the United Kingdom for violating the 1948 Genocide Convention and the 1965 Racial Discrimination Convention in order to break the genocidal arms embargo against

Bosnia as well as to stop the genocidal carve-up of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the socalled European Union Action Plan. See Statement of Intention by the Republic of Bosnia and

2

Herzegovina to Institute Legal Proceedings Against the United Kingdom before the International Court of Justice (15 November 1993), U.N. Doc. A/48/659-S/26806, 47 U.N.Y.B. 465 (1993). This lawsuit was terminated under duress.

Silajdzic, and all the Members of the collective Bosnian Presidency, as well as the Leaders of the

Bosnian Opposition Parties, during the Owen-Stoltenberg Negotiations in Geneva (1993). There I disrupted the Owen-Stoltenberg Plan to carve-up the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina into three pieces, destroy Bosnia's Statehood, rob Bosnia of its Membership in the United Nations Organization, and subject 1.5 to 2 million more Bosnians to "ethnic cleansing." President Izetbegovic then instructed me to draft and negotiate the Bosnian counter-offer to Owen-Stoltenberg.

Consultant on Independence, Hawaiian Sovereignty Advisory Commission, State of Hawaii (1993).

On 12 May 1997 in a ceremony at the Bosnian Presidency in Sarajevo, President Alija Izetbegovic and

Vice President Ejup Ganic awarded me a valid Bosnian Diplomatic Passport and Visa as well as a

Decoration for my services to the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Serbian war of extermination against them.

On 17 May 2000 President Aslan Maskhadov appointed me the Attorney of Record for the Chechen

International Court of Justice for violating the 1948 Genocide Convention. On 14 February 2004 the

Chechen Foreign Minister Ilyas Akhmadov appointed me their Ambassador to Norway with instructions to resume peace negotiations with the Russian Federation.
